Abstract

A low-profile cellular phone has improved radiation efficiency during a call for higher communication quality, and is of a structure allowing the cellular phone to be of a lower profile than heretofore with the magnetic plate and awkward structures such as its fixing jigs being not disposed in a gap within an outer case of the cellular phone.A cellular phone includes at least an antenna for mainly sending and receiving radio waves for communication with a base-station, a printed-circuit board having a metal surface as a board ground layer for the antenna and electronic components mounted thereon, a feeder for supplying electric power to the antenna and the metal surface, a magnetic plate made of a magnetic material housed in an outer case for intensifying a radio wave in a free space during a talk, and an outer case housing therein the printed-circuit board, the feeder, and the magnetic plate. The cellular phone is arranged such that the printed-circuit board is of a multilayered structure, and the magnetic plate is embedded partly or entirely between inner layers of the printed-circuit board spaced from the board ground layer and opposite to a side of the printed-circuit board spa…
